If The Wizards Could Rebound Like This, They Might Win Some Games
Contract activity for November 30 – December 6, 2025 in the Metro DC area was up 13.1%, compared to the same seven-day period last year.
Key Takeaways
- In our last report, there was a significant drop in new contracts, and five of the six jurisdictions were down. This week saw a really nice rebound, with five of the six areas posting increases in the number of newly ratified contracts.
- The only drop was in Loudoun County, perhaps because they had the most snow!
- Even Prince George’s County and Washington, DC had very positive weeks.
Why It Matters
- It’s important to keep these increases in their appropriate seasonal context. This is still the slowest time of the year in terms of buyer activity and that will undoubtedly continue over the last three weeks of the year.
- On average, homes took 10 days longer to sell last week (60 days) than last year (50 days).
The See Saw Continues
Contract activity for the week of November 30 – December 6, 2025 in the Virginia Countryside and West Virginia Panhandle area was almost unchanged – down just 0.7% - compared to the same seven-day period last year.
Key Takeaways
- That flat contract activity is the result of big swings in these two areas.
- The West Virginia Panhandle had another good week, following up last week’s 48.1% increase with a 15.5% gain.
- And unfortunately, the Virginia Countryside followed the previous week’s 33.9% drop with an 18.8% decline this week.
Why It Matters
- Despite the big swings we see from week to week, year-to-date the combined total new contract activity for the Countryside and Panhandle is pretty flat, down just 1.3%.
- Last week, homes sold in an average of 53 days, up slightly from 50 days this time last year.
The Real Estate Details
- Virginia Countryside was down 18.8%, but is up 2.4% year-to-date.
- West Virginia Panhandle was up 15.5% but is down 4.7% year-to-date.
